Interiew with Fabien Barral

You guys know Fabien, yes? He’s the famous French graphic designer that I somehow convinced to help build this website. It went so well, in fact, that we’ve got a few other secret projects going on together! We cooked up some stuff when I went to go visit him in Nimes earlier this year.

Living Design recently interviewed Fabien all about design, his ideas, his thoughts, and this sort of thing. Go check it out if you want to learn more about Fabien!

Happy New Year!

I’m looking forward to spending this year with you! We’ve got all kinds of great stuff in store for you… I hope today’s photo is a good indication of things to come!

Daily Photo – The Gladiator Arena at Sunset

While visiting Fabien in Nimes, there was a bullfight going on inside this ancient Roman gladiator arena. The further south you go in France, the more likely you are to find the old influence of the Spanish bullfights. It’s pretty violent, yes? Yes. In fact, if you zoom in, you can still see blood that has been smeared across the arena by the smearing-truck.

Once the crowd started to clear out, a perfect sunset settled upon us. It was just Fabien, my wife, and I, and it was a very nice night. After the bullfight, we walked around to take a lot of photos of this amazing evening, Fabien took us to his favorite little secret French restaurant down one of the side streets. Perfect!

I don’t think I’d care to watch a bullfight, or a gladiator match, but I love the history of a place like this. Just got finished watching the DVDs for Spartacus: Blood & Sand. Very gory, very sexy. Horrible food, too. All that aside, I really love this image.

So dramatic – the blood stained ring and that blood red sky is just amazing! Lucky you..

Hey Trey,

hope this is not too personal. Does your wife takes photos as well? Would love to see some of her work too. Just to compare between your computer science background with that of a ‘ladies touch’, given that you both visit the same places. HAppy new year too!

Trey, pretty damn good way to start 2011 my friend! That image is absolutely incredible. At first I was thinking you should of removed the truck out of the image, but the more I look at it the more I think it’s a good anchor to keep pulling me back in. Well done Trey!

I agree with all the above, Trey!!! Would be a great place to visit when a bullfight wasn’t going on. Beautiful sky!!! The Roman’s made amazing constructions across Europe up into the UK. I imagine they used local people as slaves to make them. Aren’t we glad we live in this era in history, well sort of. Always something bad happening in this world. But we have to pray that 2011 is a better year for all. And thanks to Fabien for helping with your web design, great job!! -6 here this morning! Since the house only got up to 66 yesterday, it was 62 in here when I got up. So we are dressed for it, lol. Happy New Year, everyone, have a great weekend!!!!
